You know, I can be the happiest man in the world with minimal record success.

The biggest question I have is if you're a rock singer or a rock 'n' roll band, or if you're a pop singer if you've made your way in another genre of music and now you want to make a country record, why? That's my question. Why?

I think every artist would love to just please themselves musically all day long.

When you find great songs, and somehow you get a spark in a little way, it can become brand new.

I believe in angels. I believe in God.

The passion for doing music, the passion that I have for going out and playing it live - my love for country music is back.

If one artist sells five million albums, the tendency is for other artists to say, 'Maybe I should do a little of that, too.' That can be tough to resist.
